The default setting in Ubuntu is swappiness=60. Reducing the default value of swappiness will probably improve overall performance for a typical Ubuntu desktop installation. A value of swappiness=10 is recommended, but feel free to experiment. Note: Ubuntu server installations have different performance requirements to desktop systems, and the default value of 60 is likely more suitable.

That paragraph supports your findings

14:05

But then, why doesn't "ubuntu-desktop" change its value?

14:05

<markit>

this remembers me some scheduler war...

14:06

desktop had some benefit with scheduler A, but scheduler B was choosen for "better overall performances"

14:06

even if trashed your desktop

14:06

;P

14:06

maybe we could try to find a debian dev that has the answer

14:07

or will just reply "change it if you want a different value"

14:07

<alkisg>

I think a question in askubuntu could help

14:07

Or a bug report/question in the ubuntu kernel

14:08

<markit>

I asked you because maybe you already tried and found problems, so wanted to avoid do a mistake

14:09

* markit fighting with the reinstallation of an unsupported epson scanner and epson printer... I do hate epson

14:09

<markit>

ops, canon printer

14:09

I do hate canon as well ;P

alkis: dunno if you're busy, but if you get a chance I got the xorg.7.log file.. http://pastebin.com/3Cki11V7 ..and am still having problems the thin client display coming up as scrambled or saying "input not supported"

18:04

I tried to troubleshoot for a few hours last night but don't think I really got anywhere

18:09

it does work when using a 25 pin monitor cable and dvi adapter, but only if it is the only one plugged in, and it scrambles with one dvi cable plugged in to the dvi-i, and nothing (input not supported) just the dvi-d or both are plugged in

18:19

<Enslaver>

So is this not right? I have a plugin for the ltsp-build-client, add_option "fat-client" "`eval_gettext "run most or all applications locally"`" "advanced" "false"

18:19

meaning no param, but I'm checking for it with: if [ -n "$option_fat_client_value" ]; then

Enslaver: i interpreted these as set for true when filled in with anything

18:23

see the Gentoo plugins, 010-bootstrap for instance

18:24

or the common plugin 020-rootpath

18:35

<Enslaver>

k

18:36

so i don't get why its failing the check

18:36

lemme try to compare it to true

18:37

<alkisg>

sbalneav: hi, so, we're giving up on the "keep the SSH connection alive after X dies" idea, right? Should I just go ahead and kill all user processes using something like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5562463/

18:40

<kev_n>

I just checked with ddcprobe and edid does fail... so I assume that means I need to put the info in the xorg.conf in the chroot?

18:41

<alkisg>

kev_n: the best idea is to troubleshoot the graphics problems without LTSP (e.g. with the help of the people over at #ubuntu-x), and, once you know what to do, then come here and ask for help on how to do it via lts.conf

18:41

The openchrome driver is pretty buggy

18:41

If the problem is horzsync and vrefresh, put something like these in lts.conf:

18:42

X_HORZSYNC=33.0-61.0

18:42

X_VERTREFRESH=33.0-61.0

18:42

<kev_n>

alkisg: I kinda got that impression when I was doing a search on the dvi center is disabled issues

18:42

<alkisg>

Scratch the first one, it's wrong, I meant this one: X_HORZSYNC=33.0-87.0

18:42

<kev_n>

does that mean I would need to disable xrandr or is that only for x_mode?

So I just checked on the shell of the client and I use 'dpkg -l | grep openchrome' but nothing shows.. but when I check on the server and on the server with ltsp-chroot it does.. could that be part of the problem?

19:42

nevermind, even though it doesn't show for some reason it says it is already the newest version... so I dunno
